Sacred And Profane

The transgendered have become holy objects because, unlike those of us who are frozen in a conventional relation between our sex and our gender, and are trapped in the matrix of objective and pre-existing natural categories, the transgendered demonstrate the supremacy, and so the apotheosis, of the subjective.

In a secular religion that denies the metaphysically transcendent, the subjectivity of the individual must become the Divine; the creativity of the individual must be radically enhanced to encompass the world-creating (and world-destroying) power formerly ascribed to God. Transgenderism shows that this is possible. It is therefore of tremendous ideological importance, and so becomes a holy blessing, a special gift.

    That’s fascinating, and so nicely expressed.

    Also, beware of transgendered geeks bearing gifts!

    That’s very interesting; I’d say revelatory and eye-opening, except those connote I instantly perceive it to be true, but I will have to think about its truth and significance. Nevertheless it shares with notions I would call revelatory that it is completely novel to me, a welcome addition to my stock of ideas–the first for a while.

    Reckon that “holy objects” is why that Spacey feller has gone the way he has?

    Wow. Just checked back in after a while. Glad I did.

    I’ve been struggling to conceive of how to express elements of the new religion succinctly for a while. Your formulation just blows me out of the water. I share Harold’s reaction.

    That is so true it’s a revelation unto itself.
